** Defining 'Oughtness' & 'Love' - by Earle Fox
showing how only in the Biblical worldview of a Creator God can there be a moral
order. All else devolves into power struggle. Without God there is
no morality, only coercive force.
Note: Written originally as in junior
year at Trinity College, Hartford, CT, as a paper for a religion course.
Fox was majoring in philosophy to find out why so many philosophers said there
was no God. Published in the
Journal of Religion,
July 1959, while at the Episcopal General Seminary in New York City.

A Sewer of Behavior -- Test your ability to deal with hard-core issues, in
this case sexuality. How would you respond to Mr. Frank Kameny?
Most people will not engage the issues. And most who do are incapable of
putting forth a compelling response.
We had better get prepared, because
we are headed for a sewer of behavior all across America. And hardly a
single public figure can stand up with truth and grace. How about
you? We have only ourselves to blame if we let our own prudery, cowardice,
and deliberate ignorance hold open the doors for this disaster.
Kameny is dead wrong about the
Declaration of Independence supporting his cause. Could you say why?
